About this ebook

Along the notorious Rogue River, gold seekers, crazed by the discovery of nuggets that made them rich overnight, are at war with one another. The river itself swarms with salmon, bringing along with them another kind of wealth and violent fighting between fishermen and the fish-packing monopoly. Into this scene comes Keven Bell, returning to face life after being handicapped by a disfiguring wound he received in World War I. Keven teams up with a broken-down fisherman and boatbuilder. When they try to buck the salmon-packing monopoly, they encounter violence and trickery; their boat is sunk and they are left to swim for their lives.

Keven is tended to by Beryl, the daughter of a gold miner. His convalescence is slow, but the autumn days, fishing and camping, make a woodland dream of romance. But no sooner has an operation straightened out Keven’s injuries than he is framed on a charge of murder in the salmon-packing war. Keven must carry on as best he can, along with what help Beryl and her old father can give, to clear his name and ensure his and Beryl’s safety on the turbulent Rogue.

Zane Grey’s vigorous storytelling and portrayal of violence in the wild make this novel one of his best. There is a deep emotional feeling for nature in the raw, for the great salmon runs, and for the clashes of men fighting for gold.

Zane Grey is an idealist and romantic. In his time he embodied qualities his books hint we have been losing. If you can appreciate his almost naive view of values he finds important, you may agree. A fisherman and woodsman myself, I enjoyed this book and do feel that nature heals and has the power to bring fineness back into our lives.

Pearl Zane Grey (January 31, 1872 - October 23, 1939) was an American dentist and author best known for his popular adventure novels and stories associated with the Western genre in literature and the arts.

Born and raised in Zanesville, Ohio, Grey was intrigued by history from an early age. His first three novels recounted the heroism of ancestors who fought in the American Revolutionary War. He was also an avid reader of adventure stories such as Robinson Crusoe and the Leatherstocking Tales, as well as dime novels featuring Buffalo Bill and "Deadwood Dick".

Grey attended the University of Pennsylvania on a baseballs scholarship and studied dentistry. He went on to play minor league baseball with several teams, including the Newark, New Jersey Colts in 1898 and also with the Orange Athletic Club for several years. He played a single major league game in 1903 for the Pittsburgh Pirates. After graduating, Grey established his practice in New York City and began to write in the evening.

He is the author of Riders of the Purple Sage (1912), which has been widely regarded as the most popular Western novel of all time. In addition to the commercial success of his printed works, his novels and short stories have been adapted into 112 films, two television episodes, and a television series, Dick Powell’s Zane Grey Theater.
